Chapter 245 Ordinary People Who Fall into the Cult
Seeing her like this, Chen Hao's handsome face was gradually shrouded in a haze. "What on earth happened?"
She didn't answer, but smiled and asked, "By the way, is it really okay for you not to go on the business trip?"
After staring at her for a while, Chen Hao sighed heavily and said, "Do you know when you made me feel the most helpless?"
"When?" Jiang Man asked vaguely while biting his breakfast.
“When you say something you don’t mean.”
Jiang Man pretended not to hear and continued talking about how delicious the breakfast was.
Chen Hao suddenly pressed her shoulders and asked her to face him, his eyes more serious than ever before, "If this is because of my brother, Jiang Man, you don't have to do that."
Jiang Man didn't quite understand what he meant and looked at him blankly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Chen Hao said, "It's probably because of Ding Xin."
Jiang Man's face froze, and he immediately turned away and moved his hand away. "Eat quickly, the breakfast is getting cold."
"Ding Xin is the only woman my brother has ever truly loved!" Chen Hao said word by word, "The only one."
Jiang Man's heart felt like it was stabbed by something, and the pain was unbearable.
She bit her breakfast and forced a smile, saying, "Let me tell you, the breakfast near this hospital is very famous! It's..."
Chen Hao grabbed her hand and stared at her face. "Jiang Man, tell me, are you happy now?"
"I, I can't tell."
I want to say that I am very happy, but when the words come to my lips, I can't say them.
Chen Hao asked her about her definition of happiness, but Jiang Man was ultimately unable to give a definite answer.
She thought she was happy, and it had always been like this, but until the woman named Ding Xin appeared...
The feeling he felt was completely different from that of Chloe. From the first day Ding Xin appeared, Su Heng lost his normal state. Even in his sleep, he showed strange emotions! Even if it was just anger, it was caused by another woman.
This is really rare for Su Heng.
Therefore, she could not tell him honestly whether she was happy or not.
Not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer, Jiang Man thought of his son and quickly asked, "I forgot to pick up Xuanxuan from school."
Chen Hao waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, "Don't worry, I've already sent him to Aunt Yang."
Jiang Man was surprised: "Aunt Yang?"
"Well, when I went to pick him up, I told him that you needed to work overtime. He asked to go to Grandma Yang's house."
Upon learning that his son was at Aunt Yang's house, Jiang Man finally felt relieved.
"Then Ah Heng."
She hesitated.
Chen Hao looked at her, understood her intention, and said, "Your son is quite sensible. The first thing he did when he arrived at Aunt Yang's house was to call my brother."
Jiang Man didn't ask any more questions and asked to be discharged after breakfast. After confirming that her fever had subsided and she was in good health, Chen Hao had no choice but to agree.
Standing in front of the hospital gate, Jiang Man's cell phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was Pu Jing.
When the call was connected, the voice on the other end was gentle and elegant, as if the handsome and well-mannered man was standing vividly in front of her.
"Miss Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you. Let me be frank. Wenwen is being naughty again today and refuses to go to kindergarten. I think you're the only one who can persuade him. So, could you please spare some time?"
"it is good."
Jiang Man agreed readily, which surprised the other party a little.
"Um, am I disturbing you?" he asked uncertainly.
"No." Jiang Man glanced at Chen Hao's car slowly approaching and said calmly, "I happen to be free today."
"That's good."
Pu Jing didn't ask any more questions, just said that someone would pick her up later and hung up the phone.
Chen Hao parked the car and Jiang Man got in. He glanced at her and asked naturally, "Who's calling? My brother?"
"No." Jiang Man fastened his seat belt, deliberately avoided Su Heng's topic, and said, "Please trouble Mr. Chen to take me home."
Chen Hao laughed dumbly, looked at her for a long time, and said, "Manman, you are quite awe-inspiring when you calm down."
Jiang Man was stunned and blinked, "Not calling me sister-in-law anymore?"
He pretended to be helpless and said, "Do you think I'm willing to scream? Wasn't it because of my brother's authority before?"
His half-joking words seemed to reveal part of his true feelings.
Jiang Man smiled slightly and didn't respond.
Her own emotional journey is so bumpy, how can she have the energy to care about others?
When the car was halfway there, Chen Hao's cell phone kept ringing.
He frowned and had no intention of answering the call.
Jiang Man said, "You'd better answer it. Maybe it's urgent?"
Taking advantage of the red light, Chen Hao impatiently picked up the phone, his tone unhappy, "Hello?"
Gradually, his expression darkened. "How is that possible? The contract has clearly been agreed upon. Why would he suddenly change his mind?"
After a moment, he said, "Wait until I get back to deal with it!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Man said, "Pull the car on the side of the road. I can take a taxi back by myself."
"No, I'll still give it to you."
Jiang Man interrupted him, "Don't you always value this project? Then go all out and don't be distracted by other things."
Jiang Man felt deeply guilty. If it weren't for her, how could Chen Hao break the appointment? Even if he didn't say it, she understood that this must be a crucial contract.
After staring at her for a long time, Chen Hao nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The car stopped by the roadside. After Jiang Man got out, he turned around and smiled at him: "Thank you for taking me to the hospital. Also, I believe in your ability. You have always been excellent. Nothing can stump you!"
Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Jiang Man, you are really getting better at encouraging people."
She winked at him. "As long as it helps you, I can encourage you as many times as I want!"
He smiled and said, "You said it! I'll remember it!"
"Don't worry, I will never break my promise!"
The car pulled into the driveway as she watched.
Jiang Man stood on the side of the road, his mood gradually relaxing. When he was about to take a taxi, Pu Jing called again.
"You're not at home?"
"Are you here now?"
"Ah."
"I'm sorry, I'm still outside and haven't had time to go back." Jiang Man walked slowly along the sidewalk, not expecting him to move so quickly.
"Where are you? I'll pick you up."
She thought for a moment, realizing it was rush hour and getting a taxi was difficult. Refusing someone's kindness would only make things more difficult for her. So, she told them her location.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
As soon as the phone was hung up, another call came in.
Looking at the name displayed on the screen, the finger that was sliding to answer the call hesitated.
Suddenly, she didn't know what to say to him. This strange feeling was something she had never experienced in such a long time.
Although, all this was just because of the unexpected ex.
Jiang Man thought to himself with self-mockery that he was not as free and easy as he had expected. After all, he was just an ordinary person who fell into the cliché.
